Tina & The Total Babes - Waiting For You

Another awesome old(ish) song today, this time by powerpop punk 'n' roll (or whatever you want to class it as) act Tina & The Total Babes. Fronted by the legendary Tina Lucchesi, who has also featured in several other great bands (including The Trashwomen, Bobbyteens, Midnite Snax, Top Ten, Deadly Weapons and Cyclops etc...), the Total Babes hailed from Minneapolis and featured Jacques Wait (guitar), Johnny O'Halloran (bass) and Travis Ramin (drums). 2001 saw the release, on Sympathy For The Record Industry, of their sole album, She's So Tuff. As if singing (and playing the drums in several of her bands) wasn't enough, Tina also put out releases by the likes of Bitchschool, Riff Randells and The Fevers on her own Lipstick Records. A fine example of the Total Babes' top notch rocking sound, this is Waiting For You.....
